{"product_id":"tom-anderson-drop-top-classic","title":"Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Drop Top Classic is the Drop Top with a pickguard. Anderson bends the book-matched top, in quilt maple, koa or walnut, down over the body back to form a forearm contour, and lays a pickguard over it in the traditional S layout. Anderson dates the model to 1991, a year after the Drop Top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is alder or basswood, with a maple neck and rosewood board, on a 25-1\/2\" scale or the 24-3\/4\" Shorty. The Shorty has slightly lower string tension. Anderson holds that the pickguard itself moves the sound toward a more traditional S character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the two Drop Tops, the visible difference is the pickguard. For the whole figured top on show, look at the Drop Top. For a pickguard S without the dropped top, look at The Classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar in the photo is one customer's build in Natural Red Burst, shown as an example. Every Anderson is built to order: after you order, we go through the build with you, from the woods and finish to the neck shape, frets, pickups and hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice subject to change based on options chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBODY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: USA (Newbury Park, California)\u003cbr\u003eModel: Tom Anderson Drop Top Classic\u003cbr\u003eBody: Maple or other exotic top, dropped over a tonewood body back\u003cbr\u003eBody Woods: Alder or basswood back; quilt maple, koa or walnut top optional\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Yes\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Gloss or satin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNECK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Maple back, rosewood fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\" (Traditional) or 24-3\/4\" (Shorty)\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Stainless steel; Heavy, Medium-Jumbo, Tall-Thin, Small or Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1-5\/8\" or 1-11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Any Anderson neck shape\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePickups: Any Anderson Pickupworks model\u003cbr\u003eSwitching: 3-way or 5-way\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Vintage tremolo or fixed bridge\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Locking or split shaft\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Chrome or nickel\u003cbr\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS coated, 10-46\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: Anderson logo gig bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Tom Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Natural Red Burst","offer_id":47912287469652,"sku":"TA-DROP-TOP-CLASSIC","price":6648.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1220\/7188\/files\/TA-DROP-TOP-CLASSIC_frt_1_sq.jpg?v=1792553772","url":"https:\/\/lauzonmusic.com\/products\/tom-anderson-drop-top-classic","provider":"Lauzon Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
